Currently, the search and rescue (SAR) team is still looking for nine others who are still missing.

According to the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency, there are still several cracks in the location and subsequent landslides could occur at any time.
In addition, 1,020 people were displaced to avoid subsequent landslides.
